Hands, knees, and hos-pi-tal HOSPITAL. Haha I learned so much from this video!! Love having you set all these crazy TV shows straight! ❤️

"is everybody dead" - summary of grey's

“I dont know who’s dead” is such a great way to describe missing a few episodes of grey’s anatomy

"The three month old that she delivered is also fine..." DYING

As an EMT, I was actually called out on a call for a woman in labor when I got there the Father comes running up to me saying something was coming out. I immediately went to check and saw the cord, I immediately put my hand in and never took it out till we rolled into the OR with her. She had a healthy baby girl.

I watch Grey’s, I’m *BASICALLY* a surgical resident 🤷🏻‍♀️

every time i see "doctor reacts..." to greys anatomy i go "uh oh" hahaha

I have second hand PTSD from watching that C-section scene. I once saw a documentary about a woman who wasn't properly anesthesized during her cesarean delivery, she said it felt like wolves clawing their way into her abdomen and she was still suffering from terrible trauma and depression four years later. That Grey's anatomy scene is hands down the most cruel, gruesome and horrific scene they've ever had on the show, and I'm still upset every time I think about it.

April lost her son just before this. Hence why she was so adamant on having the c section there. Loss was directing her sadly. I know it's a show lol

God the more I find out about pregnancy and childbirth the more I know I NEVER want to go through it. I swear watching this I can feel my bits trying to curl up hide

I think April was being so pushy because her first son died.

Fun fact: This scene was so intense for the actress (who was actually pregnant at the time) she gave birth shortly after and earlier than her due date

“Dirty kitchen knife” umm no they thoroughly disinfected it with HAND SANITIZER 🙈💀💀💀

Who needs medical school when you have the University of Greys ?

“the three month old she delivered is also fine” 😂😂😂

I never understand when people watch shows and then say "in no way is that a newborn" 😂😂 I mean who would sign up there newborn to be on a tv show

I love that you point out the difference between vaginas and vulvas EVERY time someone tries to interchange them. For as much as people avoid the word "vagina," they usually seem physically repulsed by "vulva." Thank you for spreading knowledge to people without being condescending about it. 💖

My mom told me that my father was a footling breech. There's a joke that that's why he became a paratrooper. "He always landed feet first."

the situation may not have been realistic in the slightest, but can we acknowledge sarah drew's (actress for april) acting for this??? insanely good; this scene always gives me chills!!

I had a prolapsed cord. When the nurse saw that my baby's heartbeat dropped, she went to check and see if everything was okay. She then told me that there would be a bunch of nurses rushing in and she asked all of my family to leave, including my husband. They rushed me to the ER to do an emergency C-section. Just like you said, the nurse had her hand inside me the whole time they were rolling me down to operating room to take the pressure off the cord. My OBGYN was able to deliver my daughter safely. I didn't know till the next day why I had to have an emergency C-section. That was the scariest moment of my life!

He can call his colleagues at the hospital to be talked through a c-section before calling an ambulance? Yeah that seems likely

Hearing Dr. Jones’s reaction to Ben performing this c section really reinforces the idea how impulsive and reckless Ben can be. It’s probably best he’s a firefighter now.

"THaT, is not a newborn." 🤣🤣🤣

“ The 3 month old she delivered is also fine.” That part cracked me up! Haha. He was so cleaned up and ready to go. Might as well have given him a little suitcase 🧳 and have him on his way home!

I love that you said "That's not a newborn". My mom is an L&D nurse, and my whole life when someone had a baby on TV mom would pipe up with "Congratulations! Here's your 9 week old!"

"April is fine! The three month old that she also delivered is fine!" I'm DYING laughing right now! You're so informative and so funny at the same time- I love this channel!!!

My neurosurgeon only uses light boxes. He doesn’t like the computer images. He’s very picky- a quality I really appreciate in the guy who’s going to play around in my brain.

If I remember the episode correctly, the situation is that there is a huge wind storm and it's very dangerous to be driving/emergency vehicles aren't exactly available.. they could quite easily die on the way to the hospital if they got on the road kind of thing. Unlikely situation, but anyway. Part of the reason why she's so adamant about this being done ASAP, in the show, is her story in the show, she lost a child before this pregnancy came around and.. well, she doesn't want to lose this one. Now that I'm watching this, I think this was the last of what I saw on Grey's Anatomy.. I don't actually know what happens after this. :O

her acting in that scene is amazing! the scream, the face, the expressions, shes phenomenal!

My midwife (who delivered my daughter 3 weeks ago, at home) told me about her experience once with a prolapsed cord. When she realized the cord was prolapsed, she got the mother into the back of the car on her hands and knees, bottom in the air, and had a warm cloth pressed against her. They called ahead to the hospital and the paramedics were waiting outside for them. Both mom and baby survived and are doing fine!

I was crying so hard during this episode especially because April already lost a baby because of Osteogenesis. I was yelling at the TV "YOU CANT KILL ALL HER BABIES LET HER HAVE ONE" I was mad lol

I am always blown away by Sarah Drew's acting prowess in the C section scene. How she can so accurately portray unimaginable agony is absolutely beyond me.

My mother did a unmedicated c section in 2015! My dad said she screamed like that and didn’t pass out. They asked her if they wanted to put her out after my brother was out and she said “YES! You still have to sew me up!!”

I think the main reason April put emphasis on saving the baby instead of her was because she lost her first baby. She didn't want to go through that again.

About 3 years ago, I watched this episode and to this date all I remember is Ben cutting her open in the house in the middle of a storm and that camera work where they show April's face when she is doing the world's most painful scream. It is that intense!! Take a bow, Sarah Drew!!

Have you done the Grey’s episode where Meredith the talks someone through surgery they are preforming on her while she’s pregnant? I think it might be a c-section but I can’t remember for sure.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO THE EPISODE WHERE MEREDITH GIVES BIRTH

That’s terrifying! No way. I would NEVER go through a C-section without anesthesia. That’s just insanity.

When she screamed it sounded like she was possessed by a demon or something 😭

This episode brings back so many memories. My first baby ended up having a prolapsed cord after a long day of laboring. She was breech and they verted her before breaking my water. But in the end we had an emergency c-section. By that time my epidural had wore off and the pain of going through that surgery was beyond anything you could imagine. I passed out from the pain a few times before the anesthesiologist could come and knock me out. Amongst all the chaos my baby girl was resuscitated and sent to the NICU where she was put in a cold cap for 72 hours to prevent brain swelling. She is my miracle baby and is now a spunky 7 year old. So thankful to God that she is still with us ❤️

She explained what intubating means I am like "I watch Grey's I know what it means honey, keep up

You should react to private practice!!! It has a lot of obgyn cases

This episode always hurt me so bad because I can only imagine how much fear was going through her head after losing her first baby.

As someone who has lost consciousness more than once from intense pain alone: YEAH THAT'D DO IT

PLEASE react to the Handmaid's Tale episode where Offred delivers her baby by herself!

*teenagers who want to be surgeons have entered the chat*

“is derek dead?” me: 😭😭😭

My mom actually had to deliver my brother by emergency c-section and they had to start 'cutting' immediately before the anesthesia kicked in so she was in incredible pain being cut open without anesthesia!

I still use light box imaging. I'm a vet tech and we don't have digital rads.

@MamaDoctorJones: just wanted to say that, as a recently retired trauma physician (who only had to deliver *once* in over forty years - in the back seat of a station wagon 🤷‍♀️), I love your videos, in which you disseminate extremely important information within large slices of humor. I’m impressed you can watch *any* ‘medical’ tv shows - I always end up yelling at the screen while my husband (a software analyst) laughs hysterically. eventually we have to stop - I don’t want a stroke or massive coronary to mar my retirement.😉. #keepitup👏👏👏

I cut skin tags off with a (washed and alcohol’d) cuticle nipper and that’s about the extent of my dangerous home surgery procedures!! Makes my dermatologist cringe and roll his eyes!!

Sports med here! I worked with a hand surgeon in an ortho office and while light boxes are still all over the walls we definitely don’t use them. UNTIL. One day we had a wrist fracture come in from someone who sustained their injury in Australia!! They brought in full size films and it was hoot trying to figure out how to read those! The look on the surgeon’s face when she asked me if he brought xrays with him was priceless!

I was 30 weeks pregnant at 18. For weeks my blood pressure had been rising but only at 30 weeks was I admitted to hospital with pre-eclampsia. They waited another 3 days and I began having seizures. They took me down for an emergency c-section. An anesthetist tried twice to put a spinal block in and failed, so they got a consultant to do it. I told him I could still feel and move my legs, he rolled me onto my side to "disperse the anesthetic" and rolled me in to surgery. They rolled me back on to my back, and began to operation. The first cut he made was like the worst papercut you can imagine, intense stinging pain. I pulled in a breathe between clenched teeth. The surgeon noticed but carried on. As he cut through the fat, nerves and tissues in to my uterus I started to scream. My blood pressure, which was already 280/190 couldn't take it. There are no words to describe the level of pain I was in. I remember screaming, I remember the surgeon dropping the scalpel, and I remember hearing the heart rate monitor flat line. I "died" 3 times in total on that operating table before they stabilized me enough to get me in to intensive care. My son was born weighing 2lbs 8oz, and there is no "happy ending" to this. He died in my arms when he was 4 days old due to multi organ failure. My body failed him and me. I don't know if you will read this, but I wanted to post about this as I watched this greys anatomy scene. April in a previous season had gotten pregnant but the baby had a genetic condition meaning his bones were breaking inside her. She chose to have an induced labor early and the baby died in her arms. That's why April was pushing to have the surgery to save this baby, she couldn't bare to lose another child. This one storyline really hit home for me because I had gone through the same thing, c-section without anesthetic and losing a child.

The babies in film and TV by law have to be a bit older. Unfortunate that the show couldn't use an appropriately sized fake baby.

Its kinda ironic that he’s using dish towels since they found a towel is someone’s body early on in the show 😂

This is why I never ever even considered home birth. God this is so scary!

I once read a doctor's analysis of an ER episode about an emergency birth where the doctor reviewing it said that it was such bad procedure that he was afraid that he was going to get sued for malpractice just for watching it, LOL. This episode sounds similar. :)

When he said he felt the foot and the cord I was immediately yelling CALL AN AMBULANCE CALL ONE NOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOURE WASTING TIME

First of all, I love your song! Second, I can tell you that feeling yourself cut open like that does eventually knock you out. I was being choked to death by the cord right up at the placenta, causing a placental abruption and emergency c-section. However, my mom only numbed out on her right side. On the left she felt everything. She says she stayed conscious long enough for the doctors to tell her I was alright. Then she ended up on a cycle of waking from pain and passing out from pain because they had to force her to contract to stop her bleeding - she has a bleeding disorder. Poor woman went through hell for me.

Lol. Good point. Most people have never ever ever actually seen a “vagina”.

Hey, Mama Doctor Jones, guess what?! April actually had a baby prior to this. Early induced delivery with the intention of allowing him to die because he had a prenatal diagnosis of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, type II. He was born in season 11. I'd love to see your take on how that was handled!

Haha! I give the vagina vs. vulva rant every now and then. Totally with you on using correct terms!

I drove myself to the hospital for my 5th baby I made it 40 minutes before baby was born had to get my kids on the school bus before I could leave.

I had an emergency caesarean section 38 years ago. I was thrown on the operating table like a sack of flour. Somebody poured a whole bucket of disinfectant over my stomach and then I was cut. The anesthesia was not yet complete and I can only say that you can't stand it, never. I just wanted to scream ... but then the anesthetic started to work. Thank God.

Im not pregnant, nor do I plan to ever be and I also don’t know anything about medicine, I don’t know how I got here, but I’m stressed out on a whole other level now 😂

Ruined a very nice table.. Hope there was a i sorry i got blood on your table ikea gift card 😂

“The three month old she also delivered is fine!” Haha 😂

One of the reasons april was so hysterical is because her first baby had a genetic disease, was born early and passed away not long(a few hours i believe) after birth.

The baby is likely 3 months old. From what I understand, tv and movies aren't allowed to film with babies younger than 3 months

My hospital still uses lightbox imaging for radiographic images . The images are so fuzzy , it’s embarrassing 🤦🏾‍♀️

My friend was induced in labor for 23 hours then did an emergency C-section. When they started cutting she was like "I can feel that." They cut again after adding more to her epidural and she screamed "I can still feel that!" They ended up knocking her out. Her epidural was placed wrong and was only numbing one side of her body. Luckily they started cutting on the half that could still feel, because if they were halfway through the incision I don't know what they would have done.

I had an emergency c section without being numb. I was in a hospital and It was horrific. This episode just nuts. No way no how. No dinning table c sections 😩

Omg I am 37 weeks pregnant, I knew I didn't have to watch this and I still did. WHY DID I WATCH IT!!! Even my baby started rolling in his womb when the cutting was happening. It's all good, it's all good. My baby's head is down, I am going to the hospital to give birth, I have no reason not to go to the hospital, it's all fine, breathe in, breathe out.

I think the number 1 question here is: how come April doesn‘t know the baby‘s in breech?!? Has she never gotten an ultrasound in that hospital they are all working in??

Yep. It’s official.. I’m adopting.

All I’m thinking this whole time is “what on earth do you keep looking over your shoulder for?” Lol.

I'd never give birth at home. I was a vacuum and forceps baby. I did learn when I was 13 that I have a brain injury from that, but at least I'm alive.

LOL, thank you so much for the vagina/vulva discussion. This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine as well!! *Rant support*

Thank you. I now actually understand why I had to have an emergency C-section, instead of vaguely knowing some bits of the puzzle. Your work is important.

I love all the fun t-shirts you have, and so it was a pleasant surprise to see I've got the same shirt as you! It's one of my favorite t-shirts, because of the positive message and how comfy it is :)

Being a mother who went through a crash C-section and felt the first cut.. I can tell you it is very intense and painful... I'm literally in tears watching this right now.

"The three month old she also delivered.." 😂😂😂

I’m taking my EMT test soon and your channel is where I get my OBGYN knowledge from lol

The only reason I know what a Braxton Hicks contraction is is literally just because of friends😂

The reason they had to do it there is because of the storm an ambulance couldn't get to them. I think even the road was blocked or something.

When my csection baby was born, my mom said they looked like an uncooked chicken. This got written in the baby book, of course.

It feels like they just took my birth story lol. I had the footling branch with the the cord problem after I had my emergency c section found out I have a heart shaped uterus. Scariest moment in my life

I am a very proud mama of 6 wonderful kids ALL six were breech! The first 4 were complete breech, #5 was Frank breech, and #6 was a footling. I had the same obgyn for all 6 babies and she was always amazed that all 6 were breech. I'm not sure how common this is, but she seemed impressed! That also means 6 c-sections ugh

15:25 My mom went through this almost 40 years ago giving birth to me... in a hospital! She was and still is a warrior, and my hero. She was in active labor for 5 days with me, then (as she was having a ‘natural’ or no drugs labor), my vitals crashed and the doctor started the c-section before mom had anything on board. She says she was very aware of the initial cut- that felt like “hot lava being poured onto her abdomen”- but passed out just as they put the gas on her. I was born without a heartbeat, but they revived me and all was well. I am glad the last ‘few’😉 decades have given us better medical procedures and wisdom. Thanks for the video, the fantastic advice, and the chance to recognize my heroic mama.💕😌

What a great video to watch at 38 weeks with a footling breech baby lol

😆😆😆 the hand motions when she says “looks real close” killed me

Hahaha I absolutely love the fact that you can laugh about yourself! Very informational YET funny!! Keep it up!

So, two things that I feel are important to know for this episode: April and Jacksons first baby, Norbert, had type II osteogenesis imperfecta ('All I Could Do Was Cry', Season 11 Episode 11), probably the reason why April wanted Ben to save the baby over her. Also, Ben had actually performed an emergency c-section in 'There's A Fine, Fine Line', Season 12 Episode 18, when the hospital was under lockdown and he and his patient caught in a corridor. Both the mother and baby die. So, him performing on April was actually coming full-circle on this arch and had me super worried when I watched it, having pretty much just a few days before seen how he failed INSIDE the hospital.

You should react to I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant!

The thing I hate about Meredith’s house is that she literally needs to take a ferry to get to her work place... um... you’re goddamn person who knows you’re gonna be in emergency situations as you are a DOCTOR and have been in multiple emergency occasions.

My mum watched this when I was younger, like 7 years ago. This scene has stuck with me ever since

The actress who played April was really pregnant in this scene and the scene was so intense that she went into labor(real labor) a few hours later of filming it! Its crazy!!

The only reason i know what Braxton hicks contractions is because of FRIENDS

“The 3 month old that she delivered is also fine” 😂

My great grandmother had a breech baby at home. The doctor broke the baby's leg getting him out, baby was over 12 lbs. The doctor knew the baby wouldn't make it, so he saved my great grandma instead. Good call, as she had other children that needed her. And yes, the baby died. I was sad, as he was my favourite great uncle. But he lived to be in his 90's.
